Beaumont is Nature
An Outdoor Oasis
Breathe in the serenity of the outdoors right within the city limits. Admire the flora and fauna at the free Beaumont Botanical Gardens and Shangri La Botanic Gardens & Nature Center. Do yoga, try birding (one of the area’s fastest-growing hobbies), or meander the boardwalk at Cattail Marsh, a converted wastewater treatment facility turned thriving wildlife refuge. Recharge, reset, and embrace the wild within.
